Product Overview

Squalane is a highly refined, hydrogenated derivative of squalene, offering superior stability and oxidative resistance. This ultra-pure, lab-grade liquid is odorless, colorless, and non-greasy, making it an excellent emollient for skincare formulations. Its lightweight texture allows for rapid absorption without clogging pores, while its biocompatibility ensures gentle interaction with skin. Squalane mimics natural skin lipids, enhancing moisture retention and improving barrier function. The product undergoes rigorous purification to eliminate impurities, ensuring consistent performance in research and development applications. Its inert nature makes it compatible with a wide range of active ingredients, preservatives, and solvents. The 100 ml pack size provides sufficient quantity for small-scale testing and formulation development. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain stability and extend shelf life. This versatile compound is particularly valued for its ability to improve product spreadability and sensory properties in cosmetic research.

FAQs
